Interesting fact
The 5 Fils coin from Iraq, which was minted between 1971 and 1981, features a unique design that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a traditional Iraqi boat, known as a "mashuf," which was used for transportation and fishing in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The boat is surrounded by a circle of intricate geometric patterns, which are inspired by Islamic art and architecture. This design not only showcases Iraq's cultural traditions but also highlights the country's connection to the ancient civilizations that once flourished in the region.
